Stocks-This was another dull day
at the Stock Exchange, with but little
feature 10 the dealings. The trading
was purely professional, there being
no evidence Of any outside interest be-.
yond the party in the New England
aud some buying OF st. Paul preferred
by those influenced by bull talk from
Chicago. The small margin between
this market ADD London restricted the
afbitrsge business and that interest
was not factor. The market was dull
and steady to fm until the issue of
the bank statement, the unfavoIable
nature of which caused some selling,
but the effect was short lived and q par
tisl recovery followed. Fort Worth and
Denver was strong and reached the
highest figure yet attained. Its strength
had no effect upon the general list,
and it reacted with the rest tf the
market in the afternoon. There was
some buying OF Wabash, in which the
foreigners Joined, while Missouri Pa
cific was weak under the hammering
of the room traders St Paul pre-
ferred was the only really strong stock.
The opening was rather heavy, though
the declines were Insignificant. The
market soon developed strong tone,
however, aud Folt Worth and Denver
advanced sharply, The sdvanc CO hated
before the cad OF the first hour, and
the market became extremely dull
with utter stagnation in prices. This
lasted until the issue of the bank
8 statement, when everything but St.
Paul preferred became quite weak o1
sn increased volume of business. Fort
Worth aud Dsnver showed thu hesv-
lest loss. A fractional reaction was
followed by renewed weakness, but the
close was quiet and sgain firm. Every
thing except Fort Worth and Denver,
which is up 2, and st. Paul preferred,
which gained Il, is lower this evening.
